Is there any official word? I’ve seen conflicting stories.
They were sent by the government to complete the job that the HECU wasn’t able to handle and also clean up after them.
Basically to silence the silencers.
In the original Half-Life, there’s nothing to indicate that the “Black Ops” assassins (the black-leather-clad femmes fatales) were in fact a separate faction aligned against both Gordon and the HECU. It makes sense to believe that they’re just a special branch of the HECU, sent in to deal with Gordon because the ordinary HECU soldiers clearly couldn’t.
When you add in Opposing Force, you’re meant to believe that they’re a separate faction which - like Maxey said - are meant to clean up after the HECU and finish the job that they couldn’t.
